Slow
Windows Machine!
Sounds
like not enough resources such as RAM and CPU. Check Performance in
Task-Manager (CTRL-ALT-DELETE). High CPU levels causes hang ups like
freezing.
Try
disabling startup programs. Go to Start > Run (search in Win 7) and type
MSConfig. In Startup tab, uncheck anything that you don't want Windows to
load automatically. It will make Windows boot faster and use less resources
while running. This just disables them in startup. Programs will still load,
but when only you initiate.
Consider
increasing RAM.
Uninstall
any extras like those pushy toolbars, and add-ons.
1 - You may need to roll back system with System Restore. Under Safe Mode (press F8 during boot and choose safe mode). Win 7 - Start > Search type System Restore XP - Is Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Restore. Now choose a date prior to problem. You may have to try a few dates.
2 - Try disabling startup programs. Go to Start > Run (search in Win 7) and type MSConfig. Startup tab and uncheck anything that you don't want Windows to load automatically.

Replace the hard drive. That is the problem. The windows xp is corrupted due the hard drive error. It cannot continue to load on windows. Replace your hard drive.
